When you strip away the sugar and the excess carbs, you’re left with a satisfying and delicate muffin that will keep you coming back for more.

Five Fun Facts About Vanilla

1. The vanilla plant is an orchid. In fact, vanilla is the only orchid with an edible fruit!
2. Vanilla plants are traditionally pollinated by one particular group of bees, known as Melipona bees. In regions where there are no Melipona bees, vanilla pants must be pollinated by hand.
3. The word vanilla comes from the Spanish, meaning “little pod.”
4. Until the late 1800s, all of the world’s vanilla was grown in Mexico. Today, the largest producers of vanilla are Madagascar and Indonesia. However, there is a luxury market for vanilla grown elsewhere because location and climate have huge impacts on flavor, just like wine.
5. When vanilla was first introduced to the Spanish in the early 16th century, they believed it was a perfume of some kind. It wasn’t until almost 1520 that they learned that the fragrant pods were also edible.

An Introduction to Flourless Baking

In one sense, all Keto baking is “flourless,” but this recipe takes it a step further by omitting even Keto-friendly flours, like almond or coconut flour.

So how is it possible to bake without even a flour substitute? Two words, coconut butter. Of course, it doesn’t need to be coconut butter. This can also be done with almond butter, like these muffins, or even avocado, like this brownie recipe.

So, whether you’re out of almond flour, looking for an easy nut-free option that is still low-carb or just looking to try something new, why not try a flourless low-carb recipe today?
